Potentially interested in surrounding markets.

It is still a seller's market in many geographic locations, so you can ask potential buyers for an extended closing period and/or with options to extend the closing period. 

The strategy I'm following for my first house hack is to acquire a multifamily property (duplex, triplex, quadplex) or SFH w/ an ADU (or potential for an ADU) as I am mainly looking to simultaneously acquire my first property and subsidize my mortgage payment.

If you have any leads or information, I would love to connect and discuss potential opportunities.

I've been trying to save up for what could potentially go wrong like cap ex things.

STRs have a huge earning potential but it's definitely something that takes a lot of time, patience, and effort these days.

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?

on a recent podcast Dave and Henry Washington talked about 10-15 years being a potential timeframe. 

What are the next steps---BRRR seems like a good method for this- as theres potential for long term renters(near elementary and highschool)Step 1- look for a hard money loan(will they also cover construction?

Potentially lower down needed of 15% with better rate and 6% cap in IPC’s
